I'm sorry I am late, one of my dads friends died and my mom is trying to get a way for my dad to get to the funeral.
But as I said last week we will be coverning Alma 30-31 (we will probably only get through 30 today).
So how was everybodies week?

It's ok.
Lets start with What happened near the end of the 17th year to disrupt the peace of the people? (See Alma 30:6, 12.)

Korihor came to the land of Zarahemla and started spreading his erroneous ideologies.

What is an anti-Christ?
What were some of the false teachings Korihor spread among the people of Zarahemla? (Alma 30:12–1 cool

I don't have the exact definition...but I think it's something along the lines of someone who tries to get others to reject Christ and His atonement.
And Korihor basically taught a form of humanism, flatly rejecting all things supernatural and advocating a self-serving ontological worldview.

yeah. and some things that he taught specifically to the people are
a. There will be “no Christ. … Ye cannot know of things which ye do not see; therefore ye cannot know that there shall be a Christ” (Alma 30:12–15). If you used the attention activity, refer to it and briefly discuss some things that we know exist but that we may not have seen.
b. “No man can know of anything which is to come” (Alma 30:13). Point out that it was contradictory for Korihor to say that no one could know of things to come but also to declare that there would be no Christ.
c. Belief in the Atonement “is the effect of a frenzied mind” (Alma 30:16).
d. “Every man prosper according to his genius, and … every man conquer according to his strength” (Alma 30:17).
e. “Whatsoever a man [does is] no crime” (Alma 30:17).
f. “When a man [is] dead, that [is] the end thereof” (Alma 30:1 cool .
now How did Korihor’s teachings affect the people who listened to him? (See Alma 30:18.)
Why would these teachings lead people to sin?
In what ways are our daily choices influenced by our knowledge of Jesus Christ, the Atonement, and life after death?

The people who listened to his teachings unfortunately went off the path, doing things they seriously shouldn't have because they began to doubt their faith.
Teachings like his lead people to sin because they destroy all sense of value of morals and ethics, and propose a naturalistic worldview in which there is no reward or punishment for good or bad deeds, and this fleeting mortality is the only existence we have, so we might as well live it up while we can.
Conversely, those with a knowledge of Christ and the existence of a reality superseding this one are driven to constantly perfecting themselves and living the laws God has set forth for them to govern their actions, knowing that their reward in heaven is real.

I'm sorry to say that I have to get off now. I have school in the morning and can't stay up way late. But we shall pick up where we left off next week.
